RICHARD WAGNER TO MATHILDE WESENDONCK - RICHARD...

My dear Kläre  I promised you something more detailed about the true causes of the serious step
in which you now see me engaged. I will tell you what is needful  that you may also be able to
refute any other gossip  toward which  however  I am most indifferent myself. What for six
years past has supported  comforted  and strengthened me withal to stay by Minna's side despite
the enormous differences of our character and disposition  is the love of that young
gentlewoman who at first and for long approached me shyly  diffidently  hesitant and timid  but
thereafter more and more decidedly and surely. As there never could be talk between us of a
union  our deep attachment took that wistful character which holds all base and vulgar thoughts
aloof  and discerns its only source of gladness in the welfare of each other. [...] These words
from a letter Wagner send to his sister Clara Wolfram in 1858 will open this fantastic book
about the relationship between Richard Wagner and Mathilde Wesendonck. This book is a reprint
of the original work from 1905.
